The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Two-faced
Ava and Helen became close really quickly after the event she attended Helen. In fact, they were so close that they both visited each other’s houses frequently now, attended events together, and even went shopping together at times.The day before, Helen had come over to Ava’s house and had forgotten some of her stuff there. The two women had originally planned to go shopping together that evening, but Helen canceled at the last minute, saying that something had come up urgently.At first, Ava thought of postponing the shopping until the next day when Helen would be free because she hated shopping alone and always did it with Harper, but Harper was spending that weekend with Derek.In the end, though, she decided to go alone because several of her groceries were finished and she needed to stock up, plus she wanted to get some new clothes for Harper, so she went shopping by herself.While doing that, she saw a dress that Helen had once mentioned that she wanted to get, so she decided t
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Surprise
Ava was not surprised when Steve pulled up in front of her house less than thirty minutes after she got home from Helen's place. She was already outside the house because she went to throw out the garbage, otherwise, she wouldn’t have opened the door, and she would have ignored him until he left.He parked his car, and hurried down from it with his head bent low and his face cap covering his face to avoid recognition, even though the streets were deserted as it was late.Then he came towards her quickly, and grabbed her hands, before fixing her with the most earnest expression that he could muster.“Ava, I know how you must feel, and I can't tell you how deeply sorry I truly am. I only hope you can forgive me and we can get past this.” He told her.“What are you doing here?” Ava asked harshly, dragging away her hand from his savagely.“I came to apologize, of course. I’m sorry for hurting you, but I swear it was a one-time thing, and I don’t know what came over me. It won't happen aga
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The comforter
Derek was right! Derek was right!! Derek was right!!! These words refused to leave Ava’s head as she continued to stare at Steve, who looked as surprised as she was.She could clearly remember Derek telling her that if Steve ever did something remotely akin to what he had just done, she should let him know immediately, but she had thought that he was just exaggerating.Now, she realized that he knew just what he was talking about and that she did not know Steve at all. Never in her life had she been hit by a man before.“Jeez! I’m so sorry, Ava. I shouldn’t have … Christ! I don’t know what came over me. I’ve never hit a woman in my life before. Please don’t tell anyone … it will affect my career. I know you owe me nothing, but please, I’m begging. I'm truly sorry.” Steve apologized, looking furtively around to be sure that no one had noticed him hitting her.“Are you going to leave now or do you want me to get you arrested for assault?” Ava asked him quietly.The quiet tone was effect
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge The nerve!
Rage was too mild a word to describe the emotion that Derek was feeling as he took Ava in his arms and listened to her sob while he tried his best to comfort her.The thought of Steve laying his filthy hands on Ava was enough to make Derek want to break every single bone in his body and listen to him squeal in pain without showing him mercy.He had known all along that Steve hadn't and couldn't, or wouldn't change his horrid behavior. A leopard couldn’t change its spots, after all.Derek had failed Victoria, but he wasn’t about to do the same with Ava. He wasn’t about to let Steve get away with hitting Ava, even if he and Ava were no longer an item, as Ava told Derek. Thankfully, Ava wasn’t like Victoria, in the sense that she wasn't going to cover for Steve and continue to take his abuse silently while refusing every form of help.“I’m really sorry. I don’t know why I’m crying. You did try to warn me, after all.” Ava apologized, raising her head and wiping at her eyes. She was look
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Beaten hands down
Derek was already anticipating such a move from Steve, so the shove did not even shake him too much.He shoved Steve back with the full force of his anger, catching him unawares so that he staggered backward comically and ended up landing on his butt.Steve sputtered in indignation, got up with the full force of his fury, and rushed at Derek. His hand was raised and he formed a fist to punch Derek, but again Derek was prepared. He had always known how to fight because his Dad used to demand that he take self-defense classes from time to time when he was younger.After he recovered from the kidnapping ordeal, he became nearly obsessed with learning every single self-defense technique there was, so taking on Steve was a walk in the park for him.He blocked off Steve’s punch as easily as an adult could take candy from a baby and delivered a solid and oh-so-satisfying punch of his own to Steve’s jaw so that the other man staggered back several paces due to the force of the punch.It too
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Same old story
"You know what? I've been thinking seriously about that idiot Jerome." Amanda said out of the blue to Denise.The two women were lounging in the new luxurious pool that Amanda recently added to her house that she inherited from her mother."What about him? Why will you let an almost dead man occupy your thoughts?" Denise asked, not really interested in the conversation.She was more worried about the fact that no one seemed to be interested in buying her house, which she put up for sale.She had bought the house at a very exorbitant rate because she was desperate and needed to be close to Derek's house. Besides, back then, she did not ever imagine that Derek would cut her off, or even worse, that she would find herself in the current predicament in which she was.Now, that she wanted to sell it off because she was broke, no one was willing to buy it at the price she was offering, even though she drastically reduced the price compared to the amount she bought it."Well, that's the thin
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Bargaining
True to her word, Amanda demanded to see Logan the following day, going as far as to threaten to hire another person if he continued to avoid her.When he saw that she was serious about her threat, he grudgingly agreed that they meet, and met up with her at a park in town. As far as she was concerned, he didn’t need to know that she didn't have the slightest idea where or how to go about hiring an assassin.“I told you that I didn’t want to rush this stuff, didn’t I? Rushing the job was what got my brother killed the last time, and while I love him very much, I'm in no hurry to see him. Besides, like I think I once told you, I have to wait for one of my guys to come back to the country. With him by my side, we’ll take these people down in no time. There’s no hurry unless you want the plan to go to shit.”“I know that. Don’t you think I know that? However, it's taking too long for you to do it. That's not why I called you to come see me today though. I asked you to come because we hav
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Dampened spirits
For the past few days, Derek had been in high spirits. Since that night when he and Steve had their altercation at Ava’s house, Steve left her alone, and as far as he could tell, Ava was glad about that.As a matter of fact, so was Derek. He had been seriously worried about the fact that such a shady and abusive character as Steve was hanging around his daughter and Ava, but now that Steve was gone, he felt much better.As he was thinking about this, there was a knock on his office door, and then the person came in without waiting for a response. It turned out to be Derek’s assistant, and the look on his face wasn’t a pleasant one."I’m sorry to disturb you boss, but I’m afraid that I have some bad news.” Derek’s assistant told him.“Jeez! Those aren’t words I want to hear right now. What’s the matter?” Derek asked the man, already steeling his mind to hear whatever it might be. “It’s about Jerome, sir. Unfortunately, we just received a phone call from the hospital that he died this

“It was by sheer luck, if not, they never would have found you on time, and what would have happened then does not bear thinking about. Apparently, they managed to arrest the guy that Amanda initially hired to do all this sometime yesterday.Once the asshole realized that there was no chance in hell that he would get out of this and that he was well and truly done for, he began to sing like a canary. He led the police right to the house, and the rest, as they say, is history. I'm so thankful we got there on time.” Damien said.“Yeah, me too. It’s still hard to believe that Amanda could be filled with so much hate in her heart and that she was willing to go to such lengths to harm Derek, me, and even our child who has done nothing to her.”“I was surprised as well. I always knew that she was a mean person, but I never imagined that she was downright evil. I'm glad you followed through on your instinct.”“Me too. So is Amanda still …” Ava asked, unable to finish the question.“Unfortuna
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Tantrum
Mother and daughter hugged each other for what felt like decades, and when they finally pulled apart, Ava's arm was hurting where she had been shot."I'm so sorry, baby. No one will ever hurt you again, I promise. Not when I'm alive." Ava said, ruffling Harper's hair, and wincing when she saw where the area on her head that had been shaved because of an injury there."The bad woman hit me with a gun. She shot Uncle Steve with the gun. Uncle Steve wanted to run away with me and Gracie, Mom." Harper explained, noting that Ava's eyes were on the wound.Ava gulped and averted her gaze immediately, unable to imagine the horror that Harper and Gracie had been through. Little children like them should never have to see someone murdered in cold blood.Seeing such a thing messed with even grownups like her, not to talk of children.The girls were going to need loads of therapy. Once again, Ava damned Amanda and Denise to hell and back in her mind. Suddenly, she realized the implications o
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Reunion
Ava had grabbed Denise because she wanted to use her as a human shield, and her plan worked pretty well, as it was all that saved her from what would have been certain death.The bullets that Amanda had just fired hit Denise point blank and in rapid succession. She died quickly, although the other two women didn’t know it yet.Ava felt Denise’s body jerk with the force of the shots at the same time that she saw Amanda crumple to the ground as though in slow motion.That was confusing, and Ava stared at her in surprise, unable to fathom what had just happened.She glanced down at Denise, whom she still held, and who was clearly very dead, and let go of her body immediately, feeling extremely sickened.She needed to focus on not getting killed, which was what Amanda was bent on doing to her.Amanda was trying to get back up, but before she could manage to do that, someone tackled her, and hit the gun out of her hand,Within moments, policemen swarmed the room, and Ava collapsed in relie
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Crazy
Denise and Ava stared warily at each other after Amanda left the room, and a few seconds later, Ava decided to try to reason with the other woman, even though she wasn’t sure that Denise was going to listen to her. “Denise, please, let us go. I promise not to press charges against you. You must know from all indications that there’s no way the both of you are going to get out of this unscathed. It doesn’t matter what Amanda says now. I can see in your eyes that you know it.” Ava tried to get to Denise. It was all she could do not to rush straight at Denise and grab Harper, who was whimpering in fear and trying not to move so that the knife would not nick her, away from the woman. She could see the fear and indecision in Denise’s face. Apparently, she was wise to realize what Amanda clearly failed to realize, which was that Ava was right and there was no way she and Amanda going to get out of this without being apprehended by the police. “Shut up!” Denise muttered. “Think abou
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A tense atmosphere
Ava didn’t wait to see what would happen next. She rushed straight at Amanda, faintly aware that her arm was hurting weirdly, but her adrenaline was too great for her to think anything of the pain right then. She had taken self-defense classes several times in the past, and although it had been a long time since she took them, those classes came in handy at that moment. Her life, as well as those of Harper and the other little girl, Gracie, depended on her. She couldn't let them down. She began to try to wrestle the gun away from Amanda, who struggled fiercely with her. As they struggled with the gun, it kept discharging, but by some miracle, neither of them was hit. Finally, the gun was out of bullets, and Amanda let go of it while yelling for Denise to come at the same time. Ava wasn’t done with her, though. She thought of poor Harper and her friend who were somewhere in that house, scared to death and definitely not in the best shape. She thought about Derek, who had been throug
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge Gunshot
Adrenaline pumped through Ava’s entire body, and utter rage filled her entire being. She was right! She had been right all along. These evil women were the ones who had abducted her daughter and another innocent child. She would have called for help, but there was no service on her phone, and she could only hope that Damien and the police would be somehow able to find her and soon too, before something bad happened to her or the girls. Had it been she had thought things through earlier, she would have gotten a car tracker before coming on this solo adventure. Unfortunately, never in her wildest dreams had she imagined what the night would bring, and so she had failed to take this necessary precaution. One moment, she was standing outside the house in fear, and the next moment, she found herself beside the door. Without caring what was waiting on the other side of the door, she threw herself against it as hard as she could. She thought fleetingly of the poor soul that was growing in
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A scream in the night
Ava didn’t go back home after driving away from Denise’s place. Instead, she parked her car the next block away from Denise’s house in a spot where her car would not easily be detected.Then she waited for what felt like an eternity for Denise to leave her house because she had every intention of following the woman to wherever it was that she was going.Her phone was blowing up with calls from Damien, who had left her several messages, asking her not to do anything drastic that could cause Denise to have the power to get her arrested or something.She ignored the messages and continued to wait. After a while, she saw a car, which she recognized as one of Amanda’s cars, come from the opposite direction and drive towards Denise’s house.Ava’s heart immediately began to beat really fast. Amanda was picking Denise up? Where the hell were both of them headed by that time of the night? Several minutes later, the car appeared again and drove off into the night.Ava let a few minutes pass, a
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A surprise visit
Ava sat in her idling car outside Denise’s house, her nerves failing her now that she was here.What was she thinking, sneaking out of her house like a thief in the night and coming here to the house of her sworn enemy?She just couldn't continue to sit at home, wringing her hands and crying while waiting for something positive to happen.She wasn’t sure what to do now that she was here, but she had to do something.Taking a deep breath, she took her phone and texted Damien to tell him where she was, just in case somehow, her hunch was right.If it was, then it would be incredibly dangerous and foolhardy to just walk into Denise’s waiting arms without telling anyone where she was.Even though it was only a little past eight in the evening, the streets were deserted, and there was no one around.Ava was about to open her car door and get out of the car when the lights in Denise’s house went off. Apparently, she was preparing to go to sleep.Ava sat still for a few minutes, wondering wh
The CEO Ex-Wife's Revenge A bad feeling
It had been several days since Amanda and Denise paid their so-called courtesy call to Ava at her house … a move that Denise thought was incredibly stupid and dangerous.After all, the three women weren't friends and all of their acquaintances knew that, so it was surely going to look weird and suspicious that Denise and Amanda decided to visit Ava.Unfortunately, once Amanda put her mind to something, especially in recent times, it was practically impossible to change her mind, and so Denise had no choice but to go along with whatever she wanted, even if she thought it was foolhardy.“I’ve got a bad feeling, Amanda,” Denise said.“About what?” Amanda, who was in a terribly foul mood asked.It was now common knowledge that Derek had not only survived the gunshots but had also gone on to regain consciousness. Ever since this news broke out, Amanda had been unconsolable and had even taken out her frustration on Derek’s daughter, whom she still held captive.“I don’t know … I’ve got a ba
